Golf is a profitable amenity for the Town that also serves as a tourist draw. Feature it as a Parks & Rec amenity rather than chastise it.
Promote the Town's Golf Courses

Aquatic Center Parking
There are 3 parking lots, other than the OVAC one, serving the fields at James D Kreigh Park, but everyone who uses the fields, parks in front of the Aquatic Center. So do many who pick up their kids from CDO. People who use the Aquatic center have to park in lots nowhere near the entrance. There should be some way to reserve/limit this lot for OVAC.

Add skateparks to already established parks - there is room!
Naranja skatepark is always packed, it's AMAZING!! There aren't many "close" skateparks in the NW valley, Naranja and Continental Reserve are it! The others are so far away from this side of town. Since opening on the 18th of May, the skatepark has been the place to be for mountain bikers, scooters, BMX'ers, and skateboarders, it is a huge hit...the downside is that it is packed...between the town of OV and the town of Marana, there is a plethora of space to add a larger skatepark, or add to the established parks. If the TOV administration has been out to the skatepark in the evenings...they would see how incredibly popular it is, and it will only continue to stay popular. With the amount of families that reside in OV, adding to the parks should ALWAYS be a part of the plans. Also.....what happened to installing shade at the skatepark!!

Handicap and accessible playground equipment and special needs support
We have a great playground at Naranja but outside of the two person swing none of it is accessible for children in wheelchairs, or with mobility issues. I’d love to see some accessible play equipment installed, so all children can play. With equipment for all, this park would become the jewel of Arizona. I’d also love to hear of some programs (especially in the summer) that cater to children with the highest needs as currently the closest that provides appropriate assistance (1:1 or 2:1) is the JCC across town. All children should be invited to play at the table, and included, with support given.
